2. Introduction
Petroleum engineering is a field
of engineering concerned with the activities related to
the production of hydrocarbons, which can be
either crude oil or natural gas. Exploration and
Production are deemed to fall within
the upstream sector of the oil and gas
industry. Exploration, by earth scientists, and
petroleum engineering are the oil and gas industry's
two main subsurface disciplines, which focus on
maximizing economic recovery of hydrocarbons from
subsurface reservoirs.
